    Greetings all! I’d like to propose the next original Moscato Hobby Models resin kit: a 1/2000 IKE CAPITAL SHIP [MOSPEADA IKAZUCHI CARRIER].The kit would come in at a little over 35cm in length. Kit features: -positionable open or closed soldier launch bays (no removable soldiers!) -included decal markings for 3 different ships -positionable gun turrets -translucent resin thrusters and hollowed hull sectors for easier lighting Proposed kit price before shipping: $250 Canadian dollars Kit price with shipping to Canada/US contiguous: $290 Canadian dollars International shipping: please PM me for actual quote. I need a minimum of 20 orders to proceed with the project, so I’ll leave this up until January 23rd (inclusive). To voice your acceptance of the project, send me a private message telling me: -« I’m in! » -how many kits you’d like -if you’re not in the US or Canada, your shipping location, so I can calculate the shipping to you. Payment: if there’s sufficient interest, I will collect $200 CAD up front, with the remaining amount due when the masters are complete. I am also offering a 10% discount on any orders paid in Bitcoin. Posting in the thread/asking questions is fine, but will not be construed as intent to purchase. If I don’t get sufficient interest by then, I’ll simply move to another project. Aaaand we’re off!

    Finally got me a Yamato VF-1S Hikaru. From Mandarake for 9k yen. Not a fan of Arcadia super bright whites, I even dislike a bit the Yamato white gor TV releases. Gotta love Yamato DYRL releases off white or the Bandai DX off white. Got a set of Strike parts to equip it later.

    Temptation won me over- I preorderd the Pose+. My inner child is all a-giggle.

    I envy you your nostalgia. For whatever reason, Robotech didn't air on any of our stations growing up, or it did and I wasn't aware of it, as I would have loved both the Mospeada and the Macross portions of RT. Southern Cross, what little I've seen of it via RT, seemed like a step backwards concerning the mecha and I instantly lost interest in watching it any further than a few eps. My experience with the Legioss, oddly enough, comes via Gobots via the Monogram Leader One model kit, which blew my teenage mind with its intricacy, its articulation, and its ability to transform seamlessly, not to mention all the opening panels and retractable landing gear. It represented everything I wished Transformers toys would be but weren't. I had little experience building models, especially one this "elite", but I managed it. I neither painted nor stickered my copy, but I loved it just the same- for the short time I had it. my dog, just a pup then, somehow got ahold of it and chewed the nose up. I was bummed but I held on to the thing for years- in fact, I may still have it in a box somewhere. there's just something about the Legioss' design that speaks to me; it's definitely more of a sci-fi plane than say the Macross valks, which are far more grounded in realism, one of the traits I adore about Macross, but there's a cool factor to the Legioss. It just looks great in both modes, IMHO. Anyway, I got the Toynami Bernard Alpha years ago, craving a decent looking Legioss/alpha toy. Of course, the Toynamis were riddled with issues, and my copy was not immune. I still have it, but it's just a deskoration at this point- I try not to handle it too much and transformation is pretty much not happening. I jumped on Sentinel's Legioss, a beautiful toy that's a touch fiddly. It hangs out in my Detolf. Now the Pose+ shows up with the potential of being a more robust, easy-to-handle toy, and I'm slavering all over it. 🤤 As I mentioned, I'm extremely tempted to get it, if only to have what's basically the most detailed version of the Legioss yet produced, right after the Sentinel, which previously held that title. That they're making it with an eye to playability appeals to me as well, as I tend to be a little heavy-handed with my toys sometimes, which is why I tend to refrain from transforming the more involved ones in my collection, short of initial procurement. I have a lot of transforming toys, but most of them have only been transformed a couple times, or just once b/c I'm afraid of breaking them or b/c the process frustrates me. Patience is definitely not one of my virtues, so it's better that way and I enjoy them as the beautiful things they are. Anyway, that's my ramble. Here's a pic of the box for that model. Of course, they had a same-scaled version of the Ride Armor that they called Cy-Kill. Kinda funny now looking back. I knew these weren't actually Gobots, but I had no awareness of Mospeada, either, so for years I had no idea where the design came from. I believe I owe it to this site, actually, for educating me on Robotech, and all that's associated with it, so thanks MacrossWorld!

    Thanks. The pearl over off white has such a nice silky look to it and adds a certain perceived depth to the surface. I had to repaint a few pieces after final paint layers were applied since I notice some poor surface prep on my part. Tiny scratch here and there. I need to slow it down and really inspect my pieces better at the primer stage to avoid so much work later on. I am contemplating what to start next while I finish up this build. Was thinking the Terror Mirage. I want to paint it like a stealth bomber or Blackbird scheme. More to come as always.

    Oh I thought that blue set was waterslide. Thanks for checking and seeing me straight!

    Great review, as always, Mike. My copy of this guy and Thundercracker are on their way, so I should have them in hand soon. It's a shame they didn't expend just a wee bit more engineering effort towards cramming more of the roof/hood kibble into his legs to clean him up a bit and make his legs look a bit slimmer in bot mode. Perhaps a third party will come up with a solution. Love the integrated weapon storage, which at this point in the franchise, IMHO, should be a standard feature for all Transformers. I hate tabbing guns willy nilly on the outside of vehicles, as it looks terrible and ruins the whole disguise aspect. The ankles are indeed weird, but as you pointed out, totally within sacred toon accuracy. 🙄 Regardless, I'm glad we finally got him. Now they just need to give us a proper G1 Mirage- the WFC figures were inaccurate to both toy and toon in numerous ways and it deserves a good representation like the others we've been getting. 'Til then, my Classics Mirage is filling the role. Love that figure but, admittedly, it's not entirely accurate either. We need a proper G1 Mirage in Legacy.

    hacchaka.net has a picture review of the H-Metal R FATTY, if you're still waiting for you're delivery....🤗 Looks like they don't have any problem with the FATTY in (Standby Mode) either 🤣 A colourful set of characters! 😉

    Yeh, I hear you @M'Kyuun, my inner 10 year old boy watching Robotech every day after school is screaming "BUY IT!!!" - I still remember the birthday I got my first Gakken Blue Alpha Robo whatever is was called. Pure unadulterated JOY! 😍

    I agree, I haven't ever gotten masking fluid to work for me either. I wish I could, especially on canopies.

    Jeepers, this thing looks amazing, and it' sounds like it's engineered to be handled and played with. I'm so tempted, but I'm having a hard time finding spots to display my HMR figs, so I don't know where I'd put this monstrosity, and the price tag is a bit steep. I love my Sentinel, but I don't really like handling it. This chunky beast looks like it might be a little handier. All the features they baked into this thing just tug at my core being- just beautiful and cool. It's a most impressive toy judging from these early looks.

    Did anyone ever come up with a fix for the droopy canard? If not, I guess I will resort to the same "fix" that I used for the YF-21 antenna issue: keep buying and exchanging it on Amazon until I get a copy that isn't messed up.

    Remember I was mentioning track pad issues on my lenovo? Seems like it's a common issue and may need to be grounded properly "If anyone is still having this issue with any Lenovo laptop, the solution is easy. I have now fixed 8 Lenovos (different models) with this same problem. The ribbon connector for the trackpad is located under the battery. During assembly, Lenovo just barely plugs this ribbon connector in. After some use (with heating and cooling of the battery or just movement) the ribbon connector no longer makes good contact. Simply open the laptop, remove the screws that secure the battery, unplug the battery and remove it. The ribbon connector will then be visible. Pull it out with the little tab (you will notice it is not very secure) then re-insert it firmly. The trackpad/touchpad will work after this." update: went ahead and reseated the cables and re-ground the copper tape to the metal chassis. trackpad been working smooth so far, knock of wood. returning it once my new laptop comes in but wanted to try the solution posted since it only took 5 minutes and was easy as upgrading an ssd.

    @Papa Rat The Speltor is really the epitome of Nagano's Renaissance Robot Design 😍 Great work on the finish! And yeah, stick to the tape.

    I was looking through Ozzie Collectibles this afternoon and noticed that the Miriya VF-1J is now In Stock. So I placed an order and I should get it sometime next week. I am still waiting on my suppliers to get in the Max VF-1J. https://www.ozziecollectables.com/pages/search-results-page?q=robotech

    Ooo, that came out really well. I'd say don't worry overmuch about the wings, since they kind of mysteriously retract seamlessly into the edge of the airframe in a manner that suggests the designer probably did not think too hard about it themselves.

    I’m not religious, but Amen to that. 💯

    Looking forward to Windcharger. I'm just waiting for one more item from my preorders at The Chosen Prime to be available to ship my Roller's Stash for free. I'd buy Windcharger over again if he came with Wheeljack in a Studio Series 86 Battle Damaged Set.
